The Rest of Saturday - My Solitary World Wide Photo Walk

Last Saturday marked Scott Kelby's 4th Annual World Wide Photo Walk. My good friend, Lee was the leader in her town, and I had every intention of signing up with a local group.

But before I could commit to a local group, I was invited to go away for the weekend, something I couldn't pass up.

So I "participated" without a formal photography group, but surrounded by great friends. And really, that's all matters.

The sandy beach in front of the house:

In the summer, I bet the beach is just bustling with activity - cousins, Aunts and Uncles playing with their kids in the sand (which was so fine and soft).
But today, it's just me.

The sun is starting to glimmer on the water and waves. It's going to be a perfect Fall day.

We drove into downtown Holland for some window shopping.

Later, my friends helped me wrap Chinese pot stickers. I made the wrappers from scratch - they are so much better that way.

Group Effort

And after dinner we made a last minute dash to Holland State Park to watch the sunset.

A typical shot of the lighthouse there, but I can't pass that stuff up.

Maybe this would be considered a less typical scene:

So, while I didn't get to formally participate in the World Wide Photo Walk, I was quite happy to be able to walk about and capture all the wonderful things during my day. I couldn't ask for anything better.
